About our chimney survey in Heath End
A chimney survey looks at the stack and everything around it: pots, cowls, flaunching, pointing, bricks and the flashings at the roof line. We also look for damp on chimney breasts and in the loft where there is safe access. You get a report with photos and our recommendations. We survey single stacks on houses and groups of stacks on bigger buildings. If you’ve noticed a chimney out of line and worn or missing pointing, we can find out what’s behind it, on flaunching, chimney pots and cowls and shared and party-wall stacks alike.
Somewhere as small as Heath End, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

What we look for on each type of roof
Rendered stacks
A rendered stack can mask problems in the bricks below. The survey checks for cracking, bulging and staining in the render.
Lead flashings
Flashings can lift in wind or pull out of their mortar joints. Any loose or split flashings are recorded.
Your questions about chimney surveys in Heath End
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Midgham station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Heath End?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover Heath End for chimney surveys?
Yes. We carry out chimney surveys in Heath End.
How much does a chimney survey cost in Heath End?
Chimney survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, confirmed before anything is booked.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show.
How soon will I get the report?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. Reports are sent by email.
What a survey costs
We confirm the price for the job before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Which survey package you book
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Chimney survey starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Getting in touch
These details help when you get in touch:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The property’s address and postcode
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Why it is worth a survey now in Heath End
If a stack seems to lean, don’t leave it. We record its condition and recommend a structural engineer where needed, so you know where you stand. Around Heath End, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.

DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take between one and two hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a hamlet or village like Heath End, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start by noting which stacks are in use, shared or causing concern.
- We check the roof around each stack, including the flashings.
- The top of each stack is checked for cracked flaunching and loose pots.
- Any lean, spalling or worn pointing is recorded.
- You receive a written report setting out what needs attention first.
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.

Heath End homes and their roofs
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you own a rental within reach of Midgham station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you live in an older home near Saint Mary's Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you look after a building such as The Hurst School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
